They do and for good reason. Get drunk, contribute to the uni scholarship fund of the young ladies but fuck up and off ya go, in cuffs, to the ships brig.

Thai PBS World’s Warissara Sae Han went to Laem Chabang, Chonburi, to board the USS Theodore Roosevelt, the fourth Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the United States Navy.


She speaks to a crew member, Pimpaka Kruthun, who was born in Tak province and moved to America at a very young age. This is the first time she has gotten back to Thailand since.


Warissara also asks Captain Brian T. Schrum, ‘What is the hardest part of being the Captain on the Theodore Roosevelt?’ Let’s hear his answer.
